Will You Install The Unofficial Froyo 2.2 ROM or Wait For Official Update From Dell??
So there is a custom 2.2 ROM out there for the Streak and I'm really tempted to upgrade my Streak with it tonight. However I'm wondering if I should do it now or just wait till December 31st. I always figured I would customize the device once I got it, but I've been happy crawling along with 1.6.
What do you folks think?

Do you think the new ROM will be better than Dell's official build?

They stated it's going to be coming out sooner than December 31st, I'm just going to wait it out. I would most likely end up flashing it to the official Froyo release when it does come out.

If you are comfortable with the instructions for the update I say go for it I am now using the latest version and it is fast with no issues that I have seen yet.

I know how to do it with no problem, I just don't want to flash it and then dell ends up releasing the official version a few weeks later. lol

Unfortunately, I lost my Streak in a cab! Ick. There goes $650!
I was uncomfortable updating to Froyo using the current builds without a Dell rebuild image being available. Sadly, I had to use the offices Nexus developer phone for the Processing workshop in Chicago. Hopefully, Dell will step it up with the communication.
I will be purchasing a Samsung phone and tablet one of these days for processing simulations and work stuff at Walgreens. The support here has been lacking to say the least. Good luck!

It is working incredibly faster than with 1.6. It is very stable and have not had any problems with the v1 froyo that came out. I have flash working, i can see videos in youtube directly from the website. It has been running non-stop since flashed and i'm still waiting for the smallest error to appear, but nothing so far. funny how someone who is totally unrelated to Dell had this working in such a short time, yet Dell seem to be having problems even with their "expert" techs on their side.
in addition to the incredible speed increase on this thing, battery life has INCREASE almost 35% to that of the 1.6 stock rom
Just my opinion
Happy Streak 2.2 user

As tempting as it is to go ahead and get the Froyo available now, I'll wait for the official version. With my luck, as soon as I updated with the unofficial one my warranty would be voided and my Streak will die a horrible death.
